Captain's Spotlight
LOTTERY:   Why did you become a Jackpot Captain?
PAULETTE:   Being a Jackpot Captain allows you to use the online tools which helps to make my group play more exciting.
LOTTERY:   What do you like most about being a Jackpot Captain?
PAULETTE:   I like that it brings together a group spirit...we always talk/daydream about what we are going to do if we win. And I like most of all, that it will be ME to inform my group that 'we are the big winners.'
LOTTERY:   Why do you play the Lottery?
PAULETTE:   TO WIN, OF COURSE!
LOTTERY:   What is your favorite game? How often do you play?
PAULETTE:   Two favorites - SuperLOTTO Plus and MEGA Millions. I split our group's contributions between those two games and we play every draw.
LOTTERY:   How many are in your Jackpot Captain group?
PAULETTE:   I have a work group which usually has between 12 - 20 players and we have played now for 7 years.
LOTTERY:   How do you get your group motivated to play?
PAULETTE:   I keep telling them that we're getting warmer. I also use the calculator that is available on the Jackpot Captain's website. That always keeps them motivated to know exactly how much their share would be if we won.
LOTTERY:   Does your group have any rituals, good luck charms or lucky numbers?
PAULETTE:   When I pass out the copies of the tickets for the upcoming draws, I tell everyone to light candles. But I don't think they do. I try to choose different or lucky retailers that have won in the past and we always do the quick picks.
LOTTERY:   What would your reaction be if you won the Lottery?
PAULETTE:   It would be like someone who picked up a casserole dish from the oven without any mittens. There would be screaming, yelling, laughing, jumping and maybe some crying.
LOTTERY:   What would you buy for yourself? What would you buy for another person?
PAULETTE:   I would buy my house and pay my bills and if anything was left over, I would buy another lotto ticket. I would put away for my daughter's college and buy her a new car.
LOTTERY:   What do you like to do in your spare time?
PAULETTE:   With the little spare time I have, I like photography, video editing on the computer and cooking. But if I was to win the California Lottery, my new hobby would be collecting coins from around the world!
